Feature:Feature:
Add support for more audio codecs: FLAC, Ogg-Vorbis, APE, etc. - all FREE.
Note: don't even mention the CPU power needed (!!!), because audio decoding (even high-rez multichannel) is much lighter than full HD video.

I doubt that is even an option. All the Audio and Video decoding takes place inside specializeds DSPs for the supported codecs and not in software with a general purpose CPU. Imagin the processing power that would be needed to decode a H.264 1080p stream on a general purpose CPU. And i'm not even talking about all the picture quality enhancement algorithmes that take place.

The general purpose IP-Core inside the PNX85500 SoC (which is the center of our TV550 platform based TVs) is nothing more than a 32Bit MIPS32 24K running at 300MHz. And i doubt it has a lot of cycles to spare for additional audio codecs - even if the system design would allow to do that kind of stuff outside the audio processing chain.

DSPs are (re)programmable (unless it's some pre-historic technology), they have software inside to allow them to perform specific tasks.
I know about the PNX85500 chip, I have that pdf.

There are (full HD) media player boxes that have a CPU at around 300Mhz and 256MB of RAM (or even 128MB) and with firmware updates they provide support for more codecs.
Certainly, it's not rocket science.

Feature:
Browse shared folders on your PC(s) directly through the network, without DLNA.
That is, use your network shares as if it was an external HDD connected to the USB port.

Samba? I think there are more possibilities... so I left that open...

Feature:
Allow analog stereo audio output on the SCART plugs, from any input source (internal - digital and analog tuners - and external).
Note: No, I'm not going to record it on my cassette deck (!) and sell tapes - this is a ridiculous absence, as analog audio is always present in the headphones plug.

Feature request

What I really miss in NetTV is that the PIP in the upper right corner, doesn't show the image from attached devices, only tv image. As it doesn't show the image from my mediaplayer, my Xbox or my settop box, I am looking at a black image most of the time.

I have seen many good feature suggestions here. However, because Iím a new Philips user, Iím curious to know if Philips has ever released a software update with new features or even modifications the existing ones? Letís take the sleep timer as an example. Itís buried behind several menus, and Iím sure Philips has heard customersí complaints about it. Providing a shortcut would probably be the easiest feature request ever to put into practice, but still Philips seems reluctant to do so. That makes me wonder if Philips has a policy that they stick to bug fixes, but will not change anything in the features-category.

Toengel, thank you so much for your effort. This is a great list. I hope Philips will finally hear from their customers. However, I am not optimistic as I see that for months their responses on the forum have been selective, limited and toned in a way that it is always the customers that are doing something wrong. If I knew beforehand that as simple feature as subtitle support from external sources was not available I'd never go the Philips TV route. Now I am left with such huge disappointment and an expensive TV in my living room that I can't use for watching movies with my friends unless they speak perfect English and the rest of world's languages. That's some "sense and simplicity". Way to go Philips!
